Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on April 17, 2017 Close Celebrate blueberry season When summer brings plump, juicy blueberries to the market, it's time to take advantage of that seasonal bounty by using them in these easy fresh blueberry desserts all summer long. 1. Topless Blueberry Pie Fresh, plump blueberries are bathed in a blueberry sauce and nestled in a prebaked pie crust. The recipe makes one 9-inch pie, or you can make several smaller pies as shown. Top with whipped cream and lemon zest for an elegant presentation. Topless Blueberry Pie | Photo by goosegreetings. 2. Blueberry Bottom Cake You start with a box of cake mix, layer in some very surprising ingredients (mini marshmallows?) and end up with a cake everyone raves about. Try it.

(I've made this cake several times, and it's a winner!) You can use any soft, ripe fruit instead of the plums, but the blueberries are a must. Plum Upside Down Cake | Photo by Meredith. 4. Blueberry Dump Cake Five ingredients are all you'll need for this quick and satisfying cake. Serve it warm with homemade ice cream for a perfect summer dessert.

Don't skimp on the fruit; it's what makes the cake beautifully moist. Blueberry Buckle | Photo by olgaweng. 6. Blueberry Crumble Bars You're going to love the quick 15-minute prep for these fruity bars. Blueberries love any kind of citrus, so try adding lemon zest along with the lemon juice to really bring out the happy partnership. Blueberry Crumble Bars | Photo by magicallydelicious. 7. Chef John's Blueberry Clafoutis Say it with me: claw-foo-TEE. That translates into a simple baked custard packed with plump, juicy blueberries. So good in any language. 8. Blueberry Drop Cookies Almond extract and lemon zest flavor these easy, cake-like cookies. They turn out quite soft, so store them with waxed paper between layers of cookies so they don't stick together. Blueberry Drop Cookies | Photo by pomplemousse. 9. Blueberry-Lemon Pound Cake This moist and lemony pound cake is easy to prep and simple to bake. Take the advice of several reviewers and dust the fresh blueberries with a little bit of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
